URL to your eFiction: I have this error on both my original 3.3 site ( http://www.mickiclark.com/efiction33/index.php) and the 2.0.7 test site I upgraded to 3.3 ( http://www.mickiclark.com/efiction207/index.php).
Have you bridged eFiction, if so with what?: Don't know what that means yet, so I assume no.
Have you searched for your problem: yes
If so, what terms did you try: spacing, layout, categories, and other such terms. Flipped through support forum for 3.0 (our main site still on 2.0.7 doesn't have this issue)
Do you have a test account for us? You can log in to both accounts as test with the password pass (this is the correct password). If you need an account with admin privileges, let me know and I will set one up.
State the nature of your problem:
All right. This is probably purely my OCD speaking :-), but in both versions, when I go in to edit a story, I get this spacing problem. I have pictures:
Here's what it looks like on /efiction33/: 
Here's what it looks like on /efiction207/: 
Now--at first, I thought I'd messed something up when I edited storyform.php on the updated version. I know NO PHP, and if I hadn't been able to trial-and-error insert HTML, I'd have been screwed there. But, I checked the other version, and it's like that too. It doesn't show up like that for me when I just add the story--only when the story's being edited.
Can I fix this spacing? I know it doesn't *matter,* it's just that I want it to be all pretty. 😀

That happens because the width of the boxes, and the button in the middle are too wide to fit within the space allocated on that line.
I think you could make the boxes less wide, but i don't know how.
If you do figure it out, it might be a problem though with what is written within the boxes (cutting off text). And there's no guarantee that it won't do it again for people will smaller screens and resolutions.
Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

Hmm. I hadn't thought of that. I'm on a widescreen laptop and did check it on my desktop, and had the same problem. I'm actually more inclined to make the boxes wider (one on top of the other) rather than smaller side-by-side. Of course, I don't know how to do that :-), but that's still what I'd rather do.
Thank you for your reply.

It's actually the width of your container box. It's not wide enough to accommodate the the two boxes plus the arrows.
Does this happen in all skins? If not, which ones?
It does it in:
- BoxedIn
- CivilWar
- Cobalt
- CSSZen
- DesertBrown
- eFiction
- Elegance
...well, you get the point. I have about 15 skins or so installed, and I see it on all of them. Also, even though I have a widescreen laptop, I have tested this at 800x600 instead of my current 1280x800, and still see the layout that way. I haven't modified any of the skins--just downloaded them directly. And while I *have* modified storyform.php for the 207 site, it was just adding text (as you can see if you use the test acct), I haven't modified the efiction33 site and it has the same issue.

Your test login actually does not work...
It won't have anything to do with your laptop if it's widescreen. Elegance, I know, is meant to expand and shrink with the size of the viewport so it shouldn't do it with that one. There must be something else going on, but I'd need to log in to see the page.
*blushes* That would be because I mistakenly retyped the word "test" instead of the password "pass." Sorry about that. I blame pregnancy brain.

No problem. It's not doing anything odd for me but I think I see the problem. To your style sheet at the bottom as the very last item add
#addstory .tblborder{width: 600px !important;}
The .tblborder class is the box around your submissions, and the width is hardcoded with an inline style at 400px. Redeclaring it with !important will override the inline style. The #addstory tells it only on that page.
